4. I found these in the un-pack! They were in my Christmas stocking when I was a youngster.
I LOVED them!
Iris thinks they're pretty cool too.

Anyone else recognise them?
You can click them together and un-click them.. make daisy chains, belts, hair thingies or tiaras etc!!
They are pretty old and a bit flimsy feeling now.. but NOSTALGIA trip here!!

5. Making my boys make one meal a week..
That's raspberry lemonade there folks.
Homemade with remnants of Summer, from our freezer (raspberries)

So those were a few scenes from our place this week.
Even if I don't get time to comment, I often have a quick squizz at what y'all are up to - a lot of inspiring and fabulous people out there!!

SO I can't find my blimmin camera connecter cord thingy so I can't put up the photos I've been taking recently.

So this marvellous snap will have to do instead.

You may have heard that there has been a 'Polar Snap/Outbreak' here in NZ. PLaces that don't usually get snow, have had snow. In Hamilton here, it is unheard of. And we got a wee flurry yesterday that lasted about a minute. The kids at the school (over the back fence) were all out to play as it was lunchtime. What excitement and thrill!!

In other news:

* I am banned from op-shopping until I finish dealing with all the boxes of stuff everywhere, It's killing me. I realise that I am seriously addicted!! I have unearthed a great deal of buried treasure that I'd forgotten about during the house move. They will have to be my 'Recent Finds' for a while!!

Random photo of me and the crew on a train trek one Sunday last month.

* That lounge suite went for $178 in a last minute bidding war. I would have paid masses more for it, had I the chance. Invercargill, for those interested, is in the deep South, on the other island...

Yes it was baby blue and purple. And it was one of those modular ones
you can arrange various ways... Drool.
